Bash
Feb 16 2005, 08:00 PM
I'm not sure if this is obvious to you all or not, but I decided to make a tutorial for it anyway. This tutorial is a lot shorter than my last C4D one, lol. You should end up with text looking like this at the end of your tutorial:  1. Firstly, type in your name or whatever, using the text tool. I used the BitDust Two font, at 36pt  2. Right-click the text layer in the Layers box. Then select 'Rasterize Layer':  3. Then go to Edit > Transform > Distort:  4. A box should appear around the text. Firstly click on the top-left point of the box, and drag up and left:  5. Then click and drag the bottom-left point of the box, left:  Okay, that's basically all you have to do, in the end i changed the layer mode to Overlay, and added some Outer Glow. You may also want to use the blur tool to smoothen up some of the edges. Note: You can use the Distort transformation to make A LOT more different looks, just drag the points of the text different ways. Note 2: As you can see from this image: Once you rasterized the text layer, you can use some other transformations. 'Skew' and 'Perspective' also let you create A LOT of different effects, so try them out!

Obviously though, you CAN free transform an image too much. Man, I really need to upload my newer work, I made this sig months ago. All my newer sigs are basically smaller versions of the larger files I work on.

yea, lol, the only problem with this text effect is that when you rasterize text it usually messes the look of the text and you can't add any 3d effects etc. to it
